Rattan or Ata is a climbing plant related to palm tree leaves found in Southeast Asia.
The process begins with specially harvesting the rattan, then properly conditioning it to prepare it for weaving.
Skilled artisans hand weave the rattan into the Bali bag shape.
The bag is then dried, giving it a long-lasting distinctive colour and lustre.
You now have a handwoven, stylish bag that will last for years to come.
Rattan is a light, durable, and flexible material! But the sustainability is in the process.
The economic value of rattan can help protect forestland where it grows by providing an alternative to logging. This means that rather than razing a forest, the forest can be protected by harvesting rattan instead.
Rattan is easier than logs to harvest and transport because it does not require heavy machinery.
As a crop that depends on trees, rattan is the perfect plant to be used as a tool for forest maintenance.
Rattan is a material used to make furniture – whereas wicker is the technique that involves weaving these natural materials into intricate patterns.
This one’s easy! Wipe with a damp cloth and hang to dry. You’re good to go!
Up-cycling is the process of reusing discarded materials to create a product of higher quality (or value) than the original.
With our rattan bags, a unique polyester fabric lining is added to the inside of each bag, and recycled plastic is used to add colour to the exterior’s beige hue.
For example, our black and white bags are made up of 50% rattan, and 50% recycled plastic.
By adding originality to each piece, up-cycling guarantees your own Bali rattan bag will be one-of-a-kind!
Our Bali rattan bags are versatile, making them a great accessory for almost any outfit! Try wearing it with any one of these classic combos:
A classic summer dress, wide brim hat, and sandals.
A hoodie dress and sneakers.
A long dress, summer flats, delicate jewellery.
Pairs well with shorts and a t-shirt for casual occasions, or your best dress for a night out.
